1) Missouri softball gave itself a legitimate chance to win an SEC Championship this weekend. The Tigers have taken the first two games against Arkansas, 6-3 and 10-1, in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks had lost only two SEC games all year until the last two days. The wins have Mizzou within a game in the loss column of the SEC leaders and the Tigers could make up that game in tonight's series finale (6 p.m.)
Mizzou's next series is at home against second-place Florida this weekend. They finish at Tennessee. Arkansas has a series at LSU left and Florida hosts Texas A&M after traveling to Columbia next weekend. With seven games to go, Missouri probably needs to go at least 5-2 to win the league title. Even if they don't do that, they've put themselves in favorable position to be one of the 16 national seeds and host a regional. Mizzou submitted a bid to do so last week. The NCAA will announce about 20 schools which will be in the running to host and will announce the 16 host sites on Selection Day. After this weekend, Missouri should expect to be one of them. Larissa Anderson certainly thinks so.
2) Things also continued to go the way they've been going for the Tiger baseball team. Mizzou won the first game of the weekend series against Georgia on Friday night. But the Tigers lost the last two games, falling to 5-13 in the league. They've still won just one series in SEC play. That one is keeping them in the SEC Tournament for now, though.
Mizzou is currently tied for 12th, which would be the final spot to qualify for the league tourney. By virtue of winning the series over Texas A&M, Mizzou would get the final spot in the tournament if it started today. Both teams have four series to go. Missouri hosts Tennessee and Auburn and plays at Alabama and Mississippi State. Texas A&M hosts Ole Miss and LSU and travels to Mississippi State and Auburn.
3) We were back on the recruiting trail this weekend. Sean Williams was at the Atlanta Rivals camp yesterday. He had some notes yesterday and will have stories throughout the week. He also caught up with 2022 QB commit Sam Horn, who is all in on the Tigers.
4) Speaking of football recruiting, this caught my eye this morning:
What a huge human being. This looks like the game clips from The Blind Side. Either Jamarion Gooch is playing against teams full of little people or he is an absolute giant.
5) In case you weren't on much this weekend, there was at least a blip that Missouri isn't dead with 2022 5-star receiver Kevin Coleman. Coleman has posted a list of schools before that Missouri was not on. There's never been a sense that the Tigers have a chance. But he tweeted--then deleted--three photos of himself in a Mizzou uniform saying (paraphrased) "Everyone is staying home. Maybe I should too. What you think Mizzou Nation?" The likelihood is that the kid is getting some social media attention. We still don't think Missouri has a great shot. But it's probably at least not zero.
6) Speaking of recruits that are back on the radar, another in-state prospect that didn't include the Tigers on his list is still in play. Boonville defensive lineman DJ Wesolak tweeted out his top 15 last week and Missouri wasn't on it. We told you at the time the staff still felt they'd have a chance at him at the end with Notre Dame being the main competition. We were told by someone yesterday that Wesolak is expected to make the trip to Columbia on June 2nd for Mizzou's big invite only official visit day. We haven't verified that with Wesolak at this point. But we do think Missouri still is involved and likely will continue to be involved, regardless of what he tweeted last week. We'll try to follow up with him soon.
